Major rain fell overnight and through the day -- the leftover parts of Delta passing through. I spent the day indoors -- and dry -- with a meeting and a weekly chat with a friend. Fatigue still present with some discomfort and stuffiness. I've spoken to a couple of other people who had a cold or sinus like thing recently that lasted for a few days with one friend telling me they laid on the couch 'in a heap' for that time. That description fits perfectly. <sigh> Yesterday more energy was present than today. Just weird. Into the evening when rain had stopped, I headed out for a takeout supper. It helped when I felt hungry and didn't want to take energy to cook for myself. And yes, there is privilege in that last statement.
I then voted in the municipal election. For the second time, we could vote online, which makes sense during this pandemic. One more activity that we now accept doing differently. Adaptability is part of human existence. It may not be easy, but it is how we grow and move forward -- the whole learning process means we are changing mindset and activity. Some might call it progress. If we remain mired in the past ways, we won't explore new knowledge or attempt to find new or better ways of doing what we do daily. Some days we will want to hide from all the changes, but in the end, facing them and adapting will serve us best.
Lyrics from the chorus of a song played over and over in my mind today. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Changes -- David Bowie
